Conflicts and Conflict Resolution in International Antitrust
Henning Klodt
Abstract: Antitrust issues increasingly reach beyond national
borders. This paper addresses the question whether such issues can
reasonably be solved by an extraterritorial application of national
competition law or whether they call for an international competition
policy of its own. The analysis is based upon 20 case studies which are
examined with regard to the suitability of the effects doctrine and the
principles of comity as conflict resolution mechanisms. The case studies
demonstrate that conflicts in international antitrust are most likely to
arise where national competition laws differ from each other or where
national authorities are pursuing divergent industrial policy
objectives.
